UNIVERSAL DEAD
EPISODE ONE |
UNIVERSAL DEAD was written and produced by original feoamante.com alumni and producer of my short film, LAST CALL, Kelly Parks. It was directed and produced by my editor for LAST CALL, Vernon E. Mortensen. I served as Production Designer.
Originally shot as a webseries, the cast for Webisode One includes D.B. Sweeney, Gary Graham, Michael Broderick, Valerie Perez, Cade Courtley, and Craig Sawyer. Watch for my cameo as a Zombie in the black "Cruel Satyr" T-shirt. This and two more webisodes were shot in a rush in only three days and for a budget that would usually pay for just one day of craft services on any other film project.

Universal Dead: The Web Series From Hell
This is the scenario featured in UNIVERSAL HELL, an internet series directed by Vernon Mortensen and starring Doug Jones (QUARANTINE), DB Sweeney (FIRE IN THE SKY) and Gary Graham (TV's ALIEN NATION).
It looks good. The first episode definitely left me wanting more.

Filmmaker Vernon Mortensen used to be on a Navy SEAL team, and you can tell - there's a nice realism to his depiction of the military, despite the completely fantastical premise of the series.

Doug Jones Talks 'Legion', 'Hobbit' and 'Frankenstein'
With the internet what it is now, I love the webisode world. I have one coming up with D.B. Sweeny and Gary Graham called Universal Dead. A zombie outbreak happens, and I play the scientist heading up the team that is finding out the reasons why. It's got a nice twist to it – one of the best reasons for a zombie outbreak that I've ever seen.
